A low-phosphorus diet is recommended for dogs and cats with impaired kidney function. Ipakitine is a highly palatable kidney-protective phosphate binder. Combine Ipakitine with a low-phosphorus diet at the onset of renal-dysfunction signs. In animals who refuse a low-phosphorus diet, Ipakitine can be administered along with regular food.

Ipakitine contains Chitosan & Calcium Carbonate which act as phosphate binding agents and lower the absorption of phosphates from the intestines. Thus, in respect of a phosphate restriction, they can mimic or enhance the effects of a phosphate restricted food. There is also a reduction in the absorption of some waste products that can affect normal kidney function.
